A lot of the Met's SD1s had Minilites, not sure of the reason but deffo looked cool.

Pre-Vitesse SD1s had hopelessly fade-prone brakes once they got hot. IIRC the Met used to fit XJ-S vented front discs which meant that the 14" wheels wouldn't fit... hence the Minilites.

I love those little films, usually shown at the flicks before the man presentation.

 

Harold Baim was known for making loads of films like this, his film about SS France (narrated by Nicholas Bloody Parsons) is brilliant, as is Telly Savalas with "Birmingham, my kinda town"

Inverness-reg'd Rangie is still around, currently taxed and MOTd somewhere. Which is good.

It's now recorded as being black and is a 3528cc diesel. (!)

 

Wonder if it's rusty at all.

 

Edit, it's DVLA MOT-history contains the word corrosion. And the "nearside front disc is red in colour".

Red. Not purple or orange or yellow.
